LabRat Stories...

OMG how little time there is within one day.... writing seems to be at a crawling rate, what's added to the burden is daily chit-chat-entertainment that I have to conduct with the ONE.

Why the ONE, because the ONE is the almighty supreme being. The ONE is ALWAYS right, Never wrong, Never makes mistakes and ALWAYS have a ready answer or solution to any situation.

Yesterday, the ONE asked me to work on my EQ. yah.... so that I can be more friendly? I dunno. But I guess his plan to improve my EQ is to chit-chat with me daily.

If the chit-chat-entertainment situation continues, I might just go crazy, I need a more quiet, stable environment where things remain the SAME from day to day.

Better still, like as if I have nothing else to do, now I've gotta write the form to submit to the lab technician for a request to file for a Purchase Order number. After she grants me a number, then I can call up the supplier to ORder the chemicals/equipment. When they are delivered, I can stamp a chop on the invoice and together with the same set of forms, set them back to the technician to gather another round of signatures. I wonder which joker came out with this system of "tracking" because its a total waste of time. By the time the signatures are collected, its time to order another new batch of chemicals or equipment already.

To make things worse, the equipments seems to be failing one at a time.... today boss just asked me to check with the technician on the repair of one of them. Hmm... I wonder how many times I've gotta go and chase this fella to call up the supplier to quote for a price to come down to check the equipment, then when the supplier gives a quote, we can put up for a PO no. for his quote and get the approval and when the approval is given, then the supplier can come down to check on it. And when he can finally repair and return the equipment to us. The last piece of equipment took 3months to get the signatures, 6 months to be repaired, total 9 months down time. It came back, worked for 3months, and it broke down again. So its still sitting with the suppliers or was it with the technician? I lost track.

Is it me? or is there something questionable with the system? HELP!
